Studies on the chemical nature of molecules on the human erythrocyte surface that mediate infection by P. falciparum are reviewed. The preponderance of evidence indicates that glycophorin A acts as a receptor for P. falciparum. Studies of neuraminidase-treated red cells indicate that the surface charge of the erythrocyte per se is not an important factor in susceptibility to infection. In addition, large proportions of the polypeptide chain of glycophorin A can be removed from the N terminal end by treatment with trypsin without an effect on parasite invasion.
